ised 10 procure during the recess q return
OF Irish agrarian crime TO the end OF May.
He ADDED that since the introduction ot the

rrovemept in the condition OF Ireltnd.
[CTies Of ''Oh!D "Ohi"l
Mr. W. III. Smith, OF the Treasury, said
that the Governments views regarding
the amendments to the crimes bill we're
that those amendments which related 10
intimidation should be considered and de-
cided upon in committee. Other amend
meDts were not OF a serious nature untli
they came TO Sir Charles RusselPs amend-
ment for the omission OF the subsection
IelIting to the whitc.boy acts" The
Government would. withdraw that sub
section for the present, reserylng the right
aud power to restore IL at the proper
stage.
Nlr. Timothy IlealY said that the Govern
mepts statement was very unsatisfactory.
He suggested that the bill he recOmmitted
for the consideration Of the white.boy
clause. instead az an alteration being made
with the Speaker in the chair.
Mr.. Baifouf SAID that in no case would
the white.bOy acts be embodied in the
BIZ, but It was proposed TO add any o1ence
covered by the whitc.b0y acts where such
action might be thought desirable. 1t was
q question. however, whether there were
any such Offences.
Mr. nrsly: VIII such amendment. il
introduced. be moved with the Speaker an
the chair?"
Mr.. Bllfour: "Yes."
Mr. EiCaly: " Then will raise the en-
tire question"
Mr. M1rum (NltionalisO moved an adj
ditional proyiso 10 the effect that while
cases OF boycottng and other minor
offences may be tined by magistrates, cases
Involving conspiracy aud other serious
charges must be tried by a superior court.
hr. Hugh Holmes, Attorney General for
lrelsnd. opposed the amendment.
Mir smith moved clolure, and the mo-
ton was carried and the amendment mega
tned by vote Of 291 to 1876.
Mr.. Healy, while spanking, was called to
order for making irrelevant remarks.
Dir. smith proposed as an amendment
that the last two lines Of subsection be
added to clause ,, the effect OF which would
be TO exclude six amendments.
Nr. II'alv asked II Mr.. smith was IN or
der in moving cleture in the middle OF an
other mons speech.
TIE chaiIman replied that Mr.. IIealy had
reseated himself before the motion was
made.
Mr. Htaly then asked il cloture could be
moved over particular portion OF n clause
before beng first moved on a particular
question before Commons.
The ct airman was OF opinion that cloture
should first he moved on the question b.
fore Commons.
MIR Smiths amendment was carried I'M
der cOturc ny yOre Of 100 TO ll6.
Maurice Healy (NaiionalisD moved that
the word "threals' be substituted for

Mr.. Baiour said the Government could
not afford to restrict the definition one i)ta,
